unplug firewire hard drive
OK, I'm getting there. My next hurdle: when I am done using my external
firewire hard drive, I want to be able to disconnect it and take it away,
without having to shut down the system. So I tried this: unmounted the
file system, and powered off the drive. This caused the console to start
saying
"ieee1394: error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023"
So I'm assuming there's some additional step that I need to do to stop the
device before I unhook it?
Tried googling for various things, but didn't turn anything up.
I'm running Sarge with a 2.6.8-686-smp kernel, and I do have the hotplug
package installed.
